According to the passage, Ormes(16 more words not shown)

Reading the passage

This is a direct reference question. Near the end of the third paragraph, Ormes links her comic's form with improvisation in swing music and tap dance. We need the art named in that comparison, not another feature mentioned elsewhere.

Working the answers

  • A

    The adventures resemble fairy tales, but that isn't the comparison Ormes makes between her comic's form and improvisational artistry.

  • B
    Correct

    The text explicitly names “swing music and tap dance.” Tap dance is the matching choice.

  • C

    Poetry isn't named in the comparison.

  • D

    Painting isn't named in the comparison.

  • E

    Torchy is a performer, but acting isn't the art identified in this comparison.
